Marble
Marble is a naturally occurring metamorphic rock, formed underground through gradual recrystallization of carbonate minerals under immense amounts of pressure. This has resulted in a wide variety of materials, from soft white marble primarily used in sculpture to multicolored and incredibly dense types used in architecture. All types of marble feature characteristic swirls and veins, providing a unique visual aspect to the material. From the Washington Monument to the Taj Mahal, countless structures have been built from marble over the centuries.
As a construction material, marble can add an eye-catching focal point to any room, especially with pronounced veining and rare color splashes. In the hands of skilled craftsmen, it is versatile and easy to work with, producing beautiful bathroom tiles, kitchen countertops, and more. Choose marble if your priority is having a stunning natural surface able to complement all other design elements.
